First let me say the pictures on this forum of some lame hose over the trans cooling line is not what they replaced. The box was 3 feet long they replace the whole line. Told me it would take an hour to do it took them almost 2 hours. Mine was the first one dealer has done he said line was worn almost threw.
Had mine into the dealer this week it's a 2012 with the recall letter. Was told they haven't been shipped the parts yet. Will get a second letter when the part is in.
Our '12 may have been one of the first ones for that....we had that done last year but still got recall notice......I found a couple drops of tranny fluid in garage May of '12...dealer is about 2 miles away...they gave us a loaner till parts came in....a new Town and Country. Been fine every since....but about due for an oil change so they can check it than.
Mine requires the power steering line and I am awaiting parts. I was told it is either the trans cooler line or the power steering line in addition to the isolator they add to prevent recurrence.
I've received the first letter as well, still waiting for the second one when they got the parts. So far I don't see anything wrong with my car yet. No tranny fluid dripping.
I was waiting on the second letter, too; but, while mine was in for something else they just did it. The letters probably lag behind the parts being available. Might be worth calling to see if they can do it.
Your dealer can order the part now. I was told if you wait until all the dealers have the parts your wait could be days. If the line rubs threw your not going anywhere.
Had 2012 Jeep Wrangler Sport in for regular service and while there asked if they had parts to do the recall, they did. Quote from work order, "N28 recall. Replace power steering return tube, inspect transmission oil cooler tube, install protective sleeve and bleed power steering hydraulic system."
Two days later back to replace driver side head. All covered by warranty. Will get it back Tuesday. Miss that Jeep.:beerme:
My line is almost worn through so I put heater hose around it. That's good enough for me, but hearing that they replaced a PS line is strange. I wonder what the story is behind that. I might have to just take it in.
Well about an hour after dropping it off for the scheduled repair I received a call from the tech. He told me that I definitely needed the repair but the parts were at least a week out. So now I need to take it back when the parts arrive. Hopefully it holds out till then!
I had the N28 recall done today.
Took 1.4 hours, according to the warranty labor allowance.
I didn't wait for the 2nd letter.
I called the dealer and had the parts pre-ordered. Dealer had the parts in a couple of days.
Swung in again after work, 13 days since my original stop in which started the ordering process. 1 out of the 3 pieces are in other 2 are on back order. Can't remember for the life of me which one is in even though I looked right at the screen with the guy.
Had my 2012 Sahara in for N28 recall. Was advised that the trany cooler line was wearing through, and I requested to see this for myself. The line in question MAY
have been rubbing an electrical cable going to the signal lights, but no evidence of wear existed. Prior to my inspection I was advised that the trany cooler line and power steering return line would both have to be replaced - taking about four hours. I declined the service and made the five dollar preventive "repair" at home in about five minutes. Vehicle was driven 16,000 miles prior to this inspection with zero wear on any of the lines. Not ALL Wranglers recalled suffer the N28 problem.
If it ain't broke - don't fix it.
Curious if ALL 2013s are to get letters ? I have had my 2013 since mid-June and no recall letter yet. Maybe I should call and try to find out from my dealer, or maybe some models/dates were already caught before leaving factory ?
Got my first recall notice over a month ago,Still waiting for my follow-up notice. First one stated "parts were not available at this time". So you are saying dealers are now receiving the replacement parts? (lines).I have a 2012 JK Unlimited.
Had this done on Saturday, the invoice listed a sleeve, power steering fluid, and power steering return lines as parts replaced. Nothing about tranny cooler lines.
Took about 2 hours. They had tons of parts available
Had this done almost 18 months ago...had tranny fluid leaking in garage..got recall notice took it in and they said they would do it again just to be sure.....fine with me...I will take new parts
